Advance Reviews:

This is a gentle and compassionate story about coping with a skin problem that is terribly misunderstood. Every child-friendly school library should stock this sensitively written and colourfully illustrated book. Mrs. Meera Issacs, Principal, The Cathedral & John Connon School

Anindita has written a compelling account of a little eczema sufferer that tugs at your heartstrings. It is a must-read for everyone who is suffering from eczema or caring for someone with eczema. Starting with discomfort, rejection, isolation and desolation to acceptance and eventual triumph, this roller coaster of feelings gives a human face to a medical condition. Dr. Manish K. Shah, Vice-President, ISPD, Associate Hon Dermatologist, B. J. Wadia Hospital for Children & Consultant Dermatologist & Pediatric Dermatologist, Bhatia Hospital

What a positive book!! So much information wrapped up in a story form. There were two aspects which really appealed to me. The first being what I truly believe in; that families are responsible for establishing self worth in children. The second, separating the problem from the person! I hope this book makes many more Mayas with eczema grow into happy, self assured adults. Dr. Pervin Dadachanji, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.
